Noor Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Hi all, Some time back I picked up these wings from the dealers junk box. Just looked old and odd enough to spend €2 . But I still haven't been able to ID them. Perhaps some (aviation) enthusiast here knows more about them. In the middle, three castles represent most likely Dublin. Around the castles there are letters "D.G.C.". My best bet was "Dublin Glider Club" but when I spoke with the people from Royal Aeronautical Society, they didn't confirm that idea. Any ideas would be great! Thanking you in advance, Timo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mervyn Mitton Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Timo - if you are specific to Dublin , using these initials, then it will be a flying club of some sort. I don't know when Eire acquired planes for an airforce - perhaps as early as the break-up in 1922 - but the initials would have been E (for Eire) and whatever the Gaelic words are for Air Force. They were very nationalistic in the early days. Mervyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noor Posted April 6, 2016 Author Share Posted April 6, 2016 I bring this old post up to live again. Currently the best bet is that it is very early Dublin Glider Club . Thanks, Timo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
